Dice box

Abstract

Pattern generating apparatus including a housing defining a plurality of sockets and a plurality of pattern bearing elements rotatably retained in the plurality of sockets. The pattern bearing elements may be dice or other pattern bearing elements.

I claim: 
     
       1. Pattern generating apparatus comprising: a housing defining first and second parallel planar surfaces, said surfaces being formed with apertures arranged in facing registration and defining a plurality of sockets; and   a plurality of pattern bearing elements universally rotatably retained in said plurality of sockets, each element defining pairs of parallel opposite pattern bearing planar surfaces, said elements being arranged with respect to said sockets such that, when said housing is disposed adjacent a flat surface, each of said pattern bearing elements engages said surface and is universally rotatable thereby so that when one of said pattern bearing surfaces lies parallel to said first parallel planar surface the opposite parallel pattern bearing surface is caused to lie parallel to said second parallel planar surface whereby a clear pattern indication is displayed through said apertures.   
     
     
       2. Pattern generating apparatus according to claim 1 and wherein said pattern bearing elements comprise cubes, having rounded corners. 
     
     
       3. Pattern generating apparatus according to claim 1 and wherein said pattern bearing elements comprise six sided cubes having dice insignia thereupon, are rounded corners. 
     
     
       4. Pattern generating apparatus according to claim 1 and wherein the diameter of said apertures being less than the diameter of the sphere defined by any of the plurality of pattern bearing elements. 
     
     
       5. Pattern generating apparatus according to claim 1 and also comprising towing means attached to said housing for permitting said pattern generating apparatus to be pulled along a support surface.
